Well, That Was Interesting (Block on Fox)

I'm a Cain guy but I'd stick a sock in the "perry campaign did it", even if Cain and his people know with certainty, that they did it.

It won't help Cain, will hurt perry, but it won't move Cain's campaign closer to the prize.

Block was the worst person to use as a TV spokesman, insecure, fumbling and mumbling {and those were his good points} and while he did fine in the smoking commercial, he looked too damn shifty to be accusing anyone of anything.

Who leaked the story is not important in the long view of the race.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Hope you’re right.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

In light of the fact that Herman Cain had to expose himself (again) to the fact that he knew about these charges earlier (now 2004) in order to “tie” Curt Anderson, a recent hire (who has released a statement that he did not know about these women) to Rick Perry, makes these accusations about Perry totally suspect (a blast of fabrication out of desperation). The real story here is Herman Cain’s pattern of disingenuousness.

A separate political consultant, Chris Wilson said he saw Cain acting inappropriately – as did many other people (that there was no way this wasn't going to come out). He also said he didn’t discuss this with any of this clients, period.

***BO wins, out of all of these attacks, and that’s all that matters to the left.***

Exactly.

Notice how the story is now on every channel 24/7 - it is a distraction from BO’s daily scandals, incompetence and failure on every level.

You may not know Perry... you may not get paid by Perry... but you work for him every day... right here on FR.

Ain’t we just a little to slick there cw?

[MNJohnnie]

Notice the trend here?

No evidence, none facts, no paper trail. No evidence at all. Merely a string of anonymous sources making accusations.

The accusations are then "validated" by more hear say accusations by third party sources linked to other GOP campaigns. Most notably third party sources specifically tied to Perry's campaign.

The GOP machine better buy a clue. This stupidity on their part may just buy them a Tea Party presidential candidate in 2012.

"BO wins, out of all of these attacks, and that’s all that matters to the left."

Exactly - and they're playing right into Zero's hands - no wonder Palin didn't want anything to do with this circus.
300 million Americans, and this crew is the best Republicans can come up with?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

And who do you “work” for (against) everyday on FR?

[MNJohnnie]

The 1st source to "validate" these these hearsay claims for the Junk Media is a pollster who works for a Perry pac. Perry's Arizona State Coordinator was tweeting about this smear before the story broke.

If you do not like the attention this is buying your candidate, tell his stooges to get out of the smear games and stick to the issues.

[MNJohnnie]

Don’t blame the victim for the stupid smear game political tactics of the GOPbot machine.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

....No evidence, none facts, no paper trail. No evidence at all. Merely a string of anonymous sources making accusations....

That could easily characterize what Herman Cain has done.

[lonestar]

No proof, both people running their mouths about this work for perry. Just like you.

Coming from you!--ROFLOL!

[MNJohnnie]

Don't be a stoodge for the junk media, this is exactly how they want you to react. Hold the smear bots accountable, don't blame the victim for the stupid political tactics of the GOP Establishementbots.

[MNJohnnie]

Sorry but that attempt at diversion will not work.

Cain has a massive paper trail. That you choose to ignore Cain’s record because of your emotional ties to the Perry Campaign does not make Cain’s record vanish

So why don’t you quit diverting and address the conduct of Perry’s Arizona State Coordinator and his pollster in perpetuating this smear I pointed out to you?

[TADSLOS]

I do not work for any political group or candidate...

Why are you compelled to lie? Aren't you proud of your boss, Rick Perry or are you finally looking for the exit like a trapped rat.

[ngat]

“As someone who, at one time, supported Perry, I can tell you that most of us do see the tactic for what it is...”

Think, what could be more sublime that for someone else to put this out there, the blame putting it out there on someone else?

[Psalm 73]

"Don’t blame the victim for the stupid smear game political tactics of the GOPbot machine."

This isn't just about Cain and/or Perry - the whole lot of them engage in this stuff - oddly, Gingrich (I'm not a fan) is the only one that doesn't really pull this crap.
And not to single out Cain, here, but he seems to know shockingly little about foreign affairs (Pali "right-of-return"? Red China not a nuclear power?).

[muddler]

Indeed.

[MNJohnnie]

Congratulations you are reacting just as the GOPbot Machine wants you too.

Way to let them manipulate you with these slanderous "anonymous source" character assassination tactics.
